Question Buying Eisenmann Exhaust! - questions

Any feedback from people who own or have heard the sport or high performance versions? It seems everyone has the race version and I think that will be to loud for my tastes. I'm leaning toward the high performance version.

Also if anyone has the oval tip, does it look stock?

ive been told not to bother with the sport, its more or less like having the stock exhaust on, no significant change in exhaust tone or horsepower increase. go with the high performance....

Get the Renntech... You have the quality name and beautiful tips for only a couple hundred bucks more. It has the perfect tone....not loud, just a deeper rumble.

Renntech mufflers are made by Sebring, whereas Eisenmann and Supersprint both make their own. Supersprint just became available, however they decided to keep the standard oval tip, so not much of an aesthetic change is present. The Eisenmann mufflers seem to be the favorite here. Sport is IMO pointless, unless you simply want different tips. High Performance will be noticable, but well within reason. Race is a little loud for some, but many people prefer it.

Thanks,
Ben

excellent choice. i had the race performance on my CLK430, but might step back to the high performance for my CLK55, i just think the race performance on a 340+ hp car would be too much...
